Unlocking the System
When the system is unlocked, the channel, spending, viewing, and ratings limits that you set are
no longer in effect. To unlock:
1. Highlight and select Unlock System in the Profiles menu.
2. Highlight and select Yes to confirm that you want to unlock the system. The unlock icon
should be displayed in the channel banner.
When you attempt to access a channel that is blocked by one or more limits (and the system is
locked), you will be asked to override limits by entering the four-digit system password.
If you enter the password to override a limit, all limits are unlocked until you turn off the digital
satellite receiver (a “T” appears on the lock icon). When you turn on the receiver again, the
system will be locked, and the Family profile channel list will be selected. If you want to re-lock
the system without turning off the receiver, you can select the lock icon in the channel banner.
Program/Video Unlock
If the system is locked and you want to access a blocked program without
unlocking all settings, press the remote control’s INFO button and highlight the
Lock icon in the channel banner. Make sure to check the box beside Unlock this
program only, and enter the system password. This program is no longer
blocked, but all other settings remain in effect. The unlock icon with a P should
be displayed in the channel banner.
• Use the Lock and Unlock icons in the Channel Banner to lock or unlock the
system. To access the Lock/Unlock Menu, press the INFO button on the
remote control and use the arrow buttons to select the Lock icon. Use the
remote control’s number buttons to enter the proper password and follow
on-screen instructions.
• Unlock icon: The system is unlocked. No limits are in effect. Spending,
viewing and other limits can be accessed and changed.
• Program Unlock icon: The system is locked, but no limits are in effect for
the duration of the current program because a password has been entered
to override the current program’s limits. No limits can be accessed or
changed. After the program ends, the system will return to Lock status.
• Video Unlock icon: The system is temporarily unlocked with no limits in
effect until the receiver is placed in standby mode. A password has been
entered to override the system limits. No limits can be accessed or changed
without entering the system password. When the system is turned off, it will
return to Lock status.
